dlm: validate length in dlm_search_rsb_tree

2026-03-04T12:19:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 080e5563f878c64e697b89e7439d730d0daad882 ] The len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name() is not validated and comes from network messages. When it exceeds DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN, it can cause out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree(). Add length validation to prevent potential buffer overflow.

dlm: fix recovery pending middle conversion

2026-03-04T12:19:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1416bd508c78bdfdb9ae0b4511369e5581f348ea ] During a workload involving conversions between lock modes PR and CW, lock recovery can create a "conversion deadlock" state between locks that have been recovered. When this occurs, kernel warning messages are logged, e.g. "dlm: WARN: pending deadlock 1e node 0 2 1bf21" "dlm: receive_rcom_lock_args 2e middle convert gr 3 rq 2 remote 2 1e" After this occurs, the deadlocked conversions both appear on the convert queue of the resource being locked, and the conversion requests do not complete. Outside of recovery, conversions that would produce a deadlock are resolved immediately, and return -EDEADLK. The locks are not placed on the convert queue in the deadlocked state. To fix this problem, an lkb under conversion between PR/CW is rebuilt during recovery on a new master's granted queue, with the currently granted mode, rather than being rebuilt on the new master's convert queue, with the currently granted mode and the newly requested mode. The in-progress convert is then resent to the new master after recovery, so the conversion deadlock will be processed outside of the recovery context and handled as described above.

net: Convert proto callbacks from sockaddr to sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:33+00:00

Convert struct proto pre_connect(), connect(), bind(), and bind_add() callback function prototypes from struct sockaddr to struct sockaddr_unsized. This does not change per-implementation use of sockaddr for passing around an arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct. Those will be addressed in future patches. Additionally removes the no longer referenced struct sockaddr from include/net/inet_common.h. No binary changes expected.

net: Convert proto_ops connect() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

fs: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users

2025-09-19T14:15:07+00:00

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to all the fs subsystem users to explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. All existing users have been updated accordingly.

dlm: move to rinfo for all middle conversion cases

2025-08-14T20:16:04+00:00

Since commit f74dacb4c8116 ("dlm: fix recovery of middle conversions") we introduced additional debugging information if we hit the middle conversion by using log_limit(). The DLM log_limit() functionality requires a DLM debug option being enabled. As this case is so rarely and excempt any potential introduced new issue with recovery we switching it to log_rinfo() ad this is ratelimited under normal DLM loglevel.
